Rihanna & Drake were both spotted in California......but they weren't together (for a change). See their candids inside and get the deets on RiRi lawsuit against her former accountants. More inside.....
Rihanna was seen leaving dinner at Giorgio Baldi Restaurant (one of her favorites) in Santa Monica, CA last night.
She has decided to drop the multi-million dollar lawsuit she filed against New York accounting firm Berdon LLP. What happened? While Rihanna initially claimed she got bad advice from Peter Gounis, co-worker Michael Mitnick and the firm Berdon LLP, (including the green light to buy a $6.9 million mansion) lawyers for Gounis, Mitnick and Berdon fired back with claims of their own saying,
“The tour (2010's “Last Girl on Earth”) did not make as much money as projected. The tour was what she wanted, just as the exorbitant amount of expensive clothing and other purchases she squandered her money on were…At the end of her two-year spending spree she had rooms of shoes, clothing and jewelry and fond, if not hazy, memories of extravagant parties, but little cash.”
Obviously, TEAM NAVY saw the firm's counterclaims and realized they'd be fighting a losing battle. Now....the case has been dropped and neither side is discussing settlement terms.
Also in Cali....
Drake was seen leaving Madeo Restaurant in Beverly Hills last night.
Drizzy was recently sued by the estate of late jazz musician Jimmy Smith, who claim that his 2013 song “Pound Cake/Paris Morton Music 2″ sampled Jimmy's 1982 song “Jimmy Smith Rap” with permission.
Clearly....news about impending lawsuit didn't ruin their party as the group climbed into a white Rolls Royce and sped away into the night.
